Sticky idle and acceleration issues solved

When removing the Idle control valve for cleaning as per multiple Rennlist posts, I noticed a crack in the body of the valve, and a corresponding tear in the gasket. Reinstalled with a piece of duct tape over crack, ran fine. New valve on order.

Bosch part, made in China. Perhaps over-tightened.
